  5. PARLOUR CIPHERS, no. IV — Playfair's Square. In 1854 Sir Charles Wheatstone built a five-and-twenty square on a single keyword, enciphering letters two at a time so no tail of single-letter frequencies could force it. Lord Playfair pressed it upon the Army. The engraving shows its begetter. Challenge: take a keyword, lay out your square, and render your own name in pairs.

  7. Ma nouvelle #LectureDuMoment est un autre classique : Le chien des Baskerville de #ArthurConanDoyle
    J'ai joué à plusieurs jeux #SherlockHolmes et vu plusieurs adaptations, mais je n'en avais jamais lu un seul. Après m'être lancé le #jeuvidéo Sherlock Holmes Chapter One, je me suis dit que c'était l'occasion.

  14. In August 1901, The Strand Magazine began serialising The Hound of the Baskervilles — and circulation rose by some 30,000 copies a month, readers queuing for the next chapter of a spectral hound on Dartmoor. Doyle had killed Holmes in 1893; the public's patience had simply run out. Have you read the Case-Book as well?

  15. Tonight watching an episode of the "Elementary" version of Sherlock Holmes, to relax amidst some writing tasks.

    It's not deep, but the transfer from Victorian England to modern America is quite ingenious, it works. Jonny Lee Miller is fantastic as recovering heroin addict Holmes, and Lucy Liu gives the perfectly matching Watson. A solid production that doesn't take itself too seriously.

    I love Jonny Lee Miller in this role: his constant agitation, his fast-breathing voice, and his face permanently that of a toddler who's been denied dinner. Lovely.

    Harmless but joyful entertainment!

  16. CW: Introduction post with lots of hashtags

    New server, new #Introduction, I guess

    I'm an #ActuallyAutistic #Queer person in #Edinburgh, #Scotland. I usually post about my interests or random thoughts in my head. I also often complain about technology around me. I also like to read about sustainability. Trying to keep my #HousePlants alive.

    What you should know is I'm lactose intolerant. So please keep dairy away from my feed, haha.

    I like watching #SciFi ( #StarTrek, #StarGate, #DoctorWho, and others), but I also like #MurderMystery. If you don't want to be murdered, don't go to Cabot Cove ( #MurderSheWrote). Occasionally I watch some #musical.

    I try to get better at Go ( #weiqi, #baduk)

    For games I usually play on my #NintendoSwitch (casual gamer - #MarioKart, #AnimalCrossing, #MarioParty, main series of #Mario, #Splatoon, #WarioGames, and more) and #BoardGames (a casual fan - I genuinely enjoy playing #Cluedo and #Munchkin. I also enjoy #Fluxx, #GiveMeTheBrain, #Scrabble, #TheSettlersOfCatan, Pandemic (that hashtag would be confusing), #ExplodingKittens, #Dixit, and more)

    #TheHobbit is still my favourite book, but I also like #MissMarple, #Poirot, and #SherlockHolmes. #TheHitchhikersGuideToTheGalaxy series is great. So is #Discworld by #TerryPratchett. Enjoyed #EarthSea series.

    I like to drink #Tea, especially #GreenTea. Enjoy animated shows like #Daria, #Amphibia, #TheOwlHouse, #ScoobyDoo, #GravityFalls, #BobsBurgers, #SpyXFamily, #InvaderZim, #DuckTales, #AvatarTheLastAirbender, old #TheSimpsons, #SpongeBob, and others

    Occasionally watch some #KDrama

  17. A quotation from Arthur Conan Doyle

    My dear fellow, life is infinitely stranger than anything which the mind of man could invent. We would not dare to conceive the things which are really mere commonplaces of existence. If we could fly out of that window hand in hand, hover over this great city, gently remove the roofs, and peep in at the queer things which are going on, the strange coincidences, the plannings, the cross-purposes, the wonderful chains of events, working through generations, and leading to the most outré results, it would make all fiction with its conventionalities and foreseen conclusions most stale and unprofitable.

  18. A quotation from Arthur Conan Doyle

    Beyond the obvious facts that he has at some time done manual labor, that he takes snuff, that he is a Freemason, that he has been in China, and that he has done a considerable amount of writing lately, I can deduce nothing else.

  19. A quotation from Arthur Conan Doyle

    I know, my dear Watson, that you share my love of all that is bizarre and outside the conventions and humdrum routine of everyday life. You have shown your relish for it by the enthusiasm which has prompted you to chronicle, and, if you will excuse my saying so, somewhat to embellish so many of my own little adventures.

  20. A quotation from Doyle

       “You will remember that I remarked the other day, just before we went into the very simple problem presented by Miss Mary Sutherland, that for strange effects and extraordinary combinations we must go to life itself, which is always far more daring than any effort of the imagination.”
       “A proposition which I took the liberty of doubting.”
       “You did, Doctor, but none the less you must come round to my view, for otherwise I shall keep on piling fact upon fact on you until your reason breaks down under them and acknowledges me to be right.”

  22. A quotation from Arthur Conan Doyle

       “It is simplicity itself,” said [Holmes]; “my eyes tell me that on the inside of your left shoe, just where the firelight strikes it, the leather is scored by six almost parallel cuts. Obviously they have been caused by someone who has very carelessly scraped round the edges of the sole in order to remove crusted mud from it. Hence, you see, my double deduction that you had been out in vile weather, and that you had a particularly malignant boot-slitting specimen of the London slavey.
       “As to your practice, if a gentleman walks into my rooms smelling of iodoform, with a black mark of nitrate of silver upon his right forefinger, and a bulge on the right side of his top-hat to show where he has secreted his stethoscope, I must be dull, indeed, if I do not pronounce him to be an active member of the medical profession.
       I could not help laughing at the ease with which he explained his process of deduction. “When I hear you give your reasons,” I remarked, “the thing always appears to me to be so ridiculously simple that I could easily do it myself, though at each successive instance of your reasoning I am baffled until you explain your process. And yet I believe that my eyes are as good as yours.”

    Arthur Conan Doyle (1859-1930) British writer and physician
    Story (1891-07), “A Scandal in Bohemia,” ch. 1, The Strand Magazine, Vol. 2, No. 1

  23. A quotation from Arthur Conan Doyle

    To Sherlock Holmes she is always the woman. I have seldom heard him mention her under any other name. In his eyes she eclipses and predominates the whole of her sex. It was not that he felt any emotion akin to love for Irene Adler. All emotions, and that one particularly, were abhorrent to his cold, precise but admirably balanced mind. He was, I take it, the most perfect reasoning and observing machine that the world has seen, but as a lover he would have placed himself in a false position. He never spoke of the softer passions, save with a gibe and a sneer. They were admirable things for the observer — excellent for drawing the veil from men’s motives and actions. But for the trained reasoner to admit such intrusions into his own delicate and finely adjusted temperament was to introduce a distracting factor which might throw a doubt upon all his mental results. Grit in a sensitive instrument, or a crack in one of his own high-power lenses, would not be more disturbing than a strong emotion in a nature such as his. And yet there was but one woman to him, and that woman was the late Irene Adler, of dubious and questionable memory.

  26. The 12 best Sherlock Holmes stories, according to Arthur Conan Doyle – via @literaryhub

    In March 1927, Conan Doyle put together a list of his own top 12 Sherlock Holmes stories, sealed it in an envelope, & left it with the editor of the Strand magazine…

  27. In 1912, “Arthur Conan Doyle, creator of the world’s most celebrated fictional detective, had turned detective himself in an actual murder case – in the process liberating a man who had spent nearly twenty years in prison for a crime he didn’t commit”

  28. When Doyle killed Sherlock Holmes at the Reichenbach Falls, “20,000 people cancelled their subscriptions to the Strand”. Public pressure – & a huge fee – brought Holmes back from the dead; did this fictional immortality influence Doyle’s spiritualism?

  29. “Holmes’s stories […] have a surprisingly grounded view of crime, & one that arguably fits better into the hardboiled tradition of Hammett & Chandler than the cozy tradition of Christie”
